Montreal police fired 7 officers. SPVM chief says they're all tied to recent misconduct scandals

I don't do it only for the trust. It was the file that I have. It was the proof that I have. After that... I know the trust has been fragile, and I'm very well aware, so we're going to rebuild it one day at a time. Five of the seven are from Station 29, and two are from Station 21. One of the agents that you fired, was it connected to allegations of destroying evidence in an intimate partner violence case? Again, I'm not going to go into details, but again, I mentioned all those allegations concerning discrimination, racism, vulnerable community. community. These are the seven police officers that we fired. But you understand why I'm asking that question, because the public has heard all of these allegations. They've heard all of these cases. They've heard all these investigations going on. And they do want to know if it's specifically those folks being officers who were fired. I'm going to answer you differently, because I want to make sure I'm not bypassing any step or I don't want to cross any line. All the news that you heard on the media concerning 39 and 21, these are the people who get fired. There's no new files. So it is those folks. It is those officers. You say that. I'm asking you. I'm telling you, whatever it was on the news and all those allegations that we sent to the criminal court, these are the people we fired. These seven officers, can they work and apply to be police officers elsewhere? Well, they have the obligation. To mention they were like investigated, they were fired from the Montreal police. They have the obligation. They can't lie on that. Right. And as soon as they're going to mention that, I don't think it's going to be possible. Do they get any compensation or they're out and that's it? None. You talked about the 99% of police officers in the SPVM who are not like those officers, the ones you fired. Why did you want to highlight that? All the events that we're talking about, all the... The people that we just fired, the information, most of them, the majority of them came from the inside. So it was a denunciation coming from the police officers. So those police officers are also, not only the population, but also them. They were expecting, they were waiting to see some results.
